“I guess I麓m too used to sitting in a small room and making
words do a few things. I see enough of humanity at the
racetracks, the supermarkets, gas stations, freeways, cafes,
etc. This can麓t be helped. But I feel like kicking myself in
the ass when I go to gatherings, even if the drinks are free.
It never works for me. I麓ve got enough clay to play with.
People empty me. I have to get away to refill. I麓m what麓s best
for me, sitting here slouched, smoking a beedie and watching
this creen flash the words. Seldom do you meet a rare or
interesting person. It麓s more than galling, it麓s a fucking
constant shock. It麓s making a god-damned grouch out of me.
Anybody can be a god-damned grouch and most are. Help!”

“I was forced to wander, having no one, forced by my nature to keep wandering because wandering was the only thing that I believed in, and the only thing that believed in me.”

“By lying, we deny others a view of the world as it is. Our dishonesty not only influences the choices they make, it often determines the choices they can make鈥攁nd in ways we cannot always predict. Every lie is a direct assault upon the autonomy of those we lie to.”
